Cauliflower Soup

It seems like such a short time ago that i stopped doing my weekly soup recipes! And now I'm back, but i don't think i'll be making new soups every week like I'm used to: I'm simply running out of recipes!

It's strange that before today i'd never made a cauliflower soup. It was such a staple of my family's dinner table when i was younger, and it's beautifully simple in it's flavor. This one errs away from cheese and into a slight depth of flavor from the addition of the curry. But i make no pretense that this soup is anything of my own invention, the recipes comes very closely adapted from Australian Woman's Weekly!

Ingredients

1 large cauliflower

1 litre chicken stock

1 brown onion

2 tbsp butter

200ml sour cream

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp madras curry powder

1 bunch chives

Method

Cut the cauliflower into florets and coarsely chop the onion.
Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onions and cauliflower and saute for 10 minutes or until soft and slightly translucent

Add the curry powder and saute for a further 2 minutes

Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
